GEMS OF ART
To be Seen in the Gallery at the
Fair Grounds---Active Prepare
TONS

To be Seen in the Gallery at the
Fair administrative Prepare
tions.
The state fair grounds were the scene
of great activity yesterday. From early
morning drays and all the other convey
anceS procurable filed into the grounds
in an almost endless stream. The last
bit of aisle space in the main building
was let yesterday and the exhibitors
now seem to be vying with one another
IN their efforts to put their displays in
order. One great improvement over
last year in the main building is the re-
mOval of the large agricultural stand
which occupied the center of the build
ing. In its place magnificent new
piano will be put on the platform, with
large number of chairs surrounding
the platform, so that people may have
an opportunity to sit down and rest
under roof.
The art gallery just to the west of the
main building was the center toward
which everybody seemed to wander yes
terday. On entering the building one
cannot help 4 feeling of genuine pleas
ure at the sight of the tasty and har-
monlous arrangement of the interior.
The paintings are hung according to
lu"ilty, olLG 6tllu COlOI. Near Tile center
OF each of the outside walls are hung the
four largest pictures of the collection.
Around these the smaller ones are so
hung as to set off the coloring of each
to the best advantage. The building is
divided into four rooms by two long
partitions, and these partitions are COW
cred with water color, sketches and the
exhibits of the st. Paul photographers.
SOME OF THE BEST
Among the large and really fine col
lection of paintings now i'll the gallery
are these:

RATES ON SMALL PARCELS.
A Hearing Before the Commits
sion as to q Reconsideration

sion as to Re-ClasSification.
A hearing was had by the railroad
commissioners yesterday Oh the cues
ton of a reclassification of freight IN
packages Of less than 100 pounds, over
which there had been numerous COM
plants made. The following railroad
officials were present:
Messrs F. B. Clark. of the Omaha; J. S.
Mccullough, of the Chicago & Northwestern:
j. II. Alexander, of the St Paul MINNEAPOLIS
Naught and 5. f. Boyd, of the Northern Pa
cific; j. A. Chandler, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul; e. F. Dodge, of the Du-
luth.
Complaints have been made to the
commissioners from all over the state
that under the new classification adopted
last July on freight weighing less than
100 pounds the rate proves in MANY
cases excessive, since as much can be
charged for ten pounds as for 100. The
roads represented were all of one opin-
ion as to the one main thing that they
did not wish a Reconsideration of the
freight on these parcels under 100
pounds at present. They agreed, how
ever, to bring the matter up in the West
ern classification committee, which will
meet the first week in October, and the
commission agreed TO take no action
prior to that time. The railway officials
claimed that the present classification is
the most modest on shippers of any now
in force under any of the rules of CLASH
ication now existing. They submitted
the following:
For lines east and south of Chicago:
No single shipment or small lot of freight
classified as frstclass or lower will be taken
at less than 100 pounds at the class to which
it belongs, or. if classified higher than first
class, at less than 100 pounds at frst-class
rate. In no case will the charge for single
consignment be less than % cents:
The rule of the Southern Railway and
Steamship association is:
No single shipment will be carried for less
than Toe pounds first-class freight.
Joint Texas classification rule:
No shipment. however small. will be taken
for less than 100 pounds at the rate under
which tits classified. Sh ould it contain two
or more classes of freight the higher class
rate will be charged. A shipment classified
higher than first class will be charged as 100
pounds at first class rate, unless it amounts
to more at regular rates actual weight.
The Western classification under
which Minnesota rates are charged was
then given by Mr.. McCullugh, as fol-
lows:
The minimum charge shall be second class
rates for 100 pounds, but i'll no case shall the
charge be less than % cents.

FAVOR NIEPEL's BID.
Expert Architects Vote Against
Local Bidders for Court House
Steam Heating


Local Bidders for Court House
Steam Heating.
The reports of the experts to whom
had been referred the various steam
heating bids for the new court house,
were received by the court house COM
mission yesterday afternoon. The ex-
perts were NJ. E. Bell, the government
architect at Washington, and Levi C.
Greene, a well-tnown civil engineer of
Boston. With the several bids the re-
port of Architect BaSSf0rd, recommends
ing the Niepel bid, had been submitted
to them. Each makes general COM
parisOn of the bids in relation to results,
and comparison of percentage in re-
spect to cheapness of cost, and both
write, after a detailed showing of fig
ures, that the Niepel bid is the cheap
est and best, and both indorse Architect
Bassford. Referring to the Niepel bid,
Mr.. Greene says:
1t, in short, is the only bid in the lot which
gives any reasonable expectation for sue
cessful results. Deducting from the sum of
his bid, as total, the material and work in
cluded i'll his proposal that is not included in
any of the other bids, together with the added
price of his access of boiler service, and it
will be found that his proposal is really the
cheapest.
Mt. Bell says III the conclusion OF his
report:
This bidder seems to have been the only
one who had capacity to understand what is
required in first-class job of steam heating.
His theory Of piping and pipes and radiating
surface is all correct, and is just what should
be in this building, and if carried out COM
plete it viii accomplish the results aimed at,
and it is the only bid that Will.
The city council and the board of
county commissioners will hold a joint
session to confirm the award of the con-
tract to Mr.. Niepel Sept. IA at 80 p. m.
The bid, the report of Architect Bass
ford, the protest of the local contractors
and he reports of the above experts
will all be submitted to the joint COM
mission.

THIS Is ENCOURAGING.
President Lowry Says the Gable
Cars Will Run Oct.f5.

Col. Thomas Lowry, president of the
street railway company, looking fresh
as a daisy from his late ocean voyage,
was in st. Paul again yesterday and
had time to talk to a GLOBE
reporter for few minutes
on street car transportation topics.
He said the contract had been closed
with Taylor q Craig for the completion
of the power house by Oct. Is, and it
would be done by that date sure. The
boilers are nearly put in, as is consider
able of the machinery. The delay on
the cable work, he said, was wholly
due to the failure of the eastern firm
to turn out the ''yokesn on time.
1t was no use, he said,
to tear up the streets before these were
here and ready to be put in. The 5000 a
day forfeit for all time after Sept. be-
fore the completion of the cable line, he
said, was having tendency to hurry up
the company bit. The ''yokes" had
been shipped, and would be in st. Paul
in ninety hours, land you can put it
down as sure thing" said he, ''that
the cable cars will be running in st.
Paul by Oct, 15.''

WILL PURCHASE THE PARK.
The Commission Unanimously
Favors the Site Opposite Mime
haha.
The park commission yesterday passed
unanimously the resolution of Commits
sioner Magoflin, condemning land at
Minnehaha for site to be called Hia-
watha park. The site comprises 1881
acres of land opposite Minnehaha falls
and facing the Soldiers home, and en-
braces within its borders the pictur-
eSQue Hidden falls. 1t will cost about
$4,000, and its condemnation is salts
factory fulilment of the promise made
to the commission which located the
Soldiers home at Minnehaha. The
park will contain nearly fifty acres
along the north bank of the Mississippi,
directly across from the mouth of Min
nehaha creek. The banks here are
bluffs, rising about 200 feet. and the
plan will INCLUDE magnificent boule-
ward SOC feet wide, commencing at the
Fort Smelling bridge, and running along
the bluffs by way of Marshall avenue to
the county line.
On the white sandstone bluff, directly
across the river from the upper end of
the park, the soldiers home will be To-
Gated. At this point the strip of land
is $50 feet wide; it then runs 1888 feet
III a southeaSterly direction to the head
of the ravine; from there the course is
directly south for lap feet almost to
the edge of the bluff. and thence a line
is run directly west to the river. This
gives a front on the river of half mile.
a little brook trickleS down the ravine
through a picturesque landscape
marked with huge boulderS and stately
trees, and falls over ledge of rocks in
the basin distance of forty-fve feet.
This has been named Hidden falls, and
although the fall is not so great, is not
a less beautiful sight than the St0ried
Minnehaha. At the mouth of the ra-
vine are two lofty head lands, from
which good views of the river, Fort
Smelling and Minnehaha can be OBJ
tanned.
ANOTHER PARK WANTED.
A proposition was presented to the
board by Mr.. Watson, who offered to
secure eighteen acres for park site on
Lexington avenue, accompanied by a
petition signed by 800 citizens urging the
location of park in that part of the
city. The matter was referred to MessrS.
Newell and Magoffin. Committees were
also appointed to consider and report the
advantages of the proposed site on
Crocus hill, at Ayd park, and on the
west shore of Lake Phalan. The board
will meet again Saturday
